Saint maidens

"Saint maidens" cumulates all of my photographic researches. It contains sensitive light, which abstracts a story and the most essential part of photographing, which is to completely focus on theme. It can prospect in seeing something unusual as inner life like I've bothered to do so. I perceive spirituality as a kind of a unique sensitivity, which do not have to emerge from religiousness like in the photography. Of course it can be even a passionate dialogue or a specific energy. Two women are participating in such experience. I do thing so but I can't be sure, because the situation happened in Portugal and nuns were speaking other language. Althought, I was lucky to be a stander-by.
